To get in the holiday spirit with some of the best professional readers around, we’ve chosen the best audiobooks of classic Christmas reads for children and adults. Like revisiting an old friend, there’s comfort in the familiar, and nothing says the holidays quite like re-reading these favorites on a cold winter’s night. One of those such boxes includes my collection of classic Christmas tales accumulated over the years.

As many stories do, (especially ones of this age!) this one too has evolved into a most famous ballet known simply as, "The Nutcracker." Perhaps, it is more particularly liked and adored because of a score written by the well-known composer, Tchaikovsky. Hoffmann was written over 200 years ago in 1816.
